By choosing the Cultural Day Tour to Samarkand from Tashkent by "Afrosiyob" Train, you will see the whole architectural grandeur of one of the most ancient cities in the world. The Samarkand monuments like shabby pages of history, by “skimming” of which, you can learn the history of the great city.
